Edit without leaving the list
You can edit several fields directly in the grid without opening the full editor.
Editable columns (typical)
Status: Dropdown or select to change post status (e.g. Publish, Draft, Pending, Trash). On save, the backend is updated via PUT /wp-json/fleekdash/v1/posts/:id with { status }. The grid and local cache update; dashboard stats can be invalidated so KPIs stay in sync.
Author: Dropdown or popover to pick another user. Same API with { author }. Author cell shows avatar and name; list of authors comes from metadata (e.g. availableAuthors).
Date: Date picker to set the post date. API receives { date }. Cell shows the new date and optionally relative time (e.g. "2h ago") if the server returns it.
Category: Multi-select for the primary taxonomy (e.g. category for posts, product_cat for products). API receives taxonomy and term IDs; grid updates the row.
Labels / tags: Multi-select per taxonomy. Same idea: selection is sent to the API; row and cache update.
How it works under the hood
Each editable cell uses a callback (e.g. onStatusChange, onAuthorChange) provided by the page. The callback calls the FleekDash posts API (or WordPress Bridge), then calls onPostUpdated with the updated post so the grid and posts cache (add/update/remove) stay in sync.
If the grid is used on the dashboard (pending approval), the same callbacks can be wired so approving or changing status there updates the dashboard list and KPIs.
Approve, reassign, or reschedule content from the list in one or two clicks.

In practice
Edit status, author, date, categories, and labels directly in the grid. On this page, Edit without leaving the list is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. The sections above walk through Editable columns (typical), How it works under the hood in order, so you can skim headings and jump straight to the part you need. Because edit without leaving the list is part of Data Tables — a fast, sortable, filterable grid with inline editing, bulk actions, and column control for every post type — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
